So, many artists do not clear the samples?
I was told that you can use up to 8 bars or you will get in trouble?

Multiple melodic content at the same time (no freq. mask?)

When you start producing you start listening to tracks instead of hearing it. Now I'm wondering how you could layer multiple leads in the form of stabs, piano and pads at the same time in a track. I hear tracks where these elements play at the same time and yet they don't collide. There is the way o...

Thanks for the advice guys. Being a dinosaur does have its advantages, you know both worlds. ITB + Analogue. If you are combining them both that is. Casanova knows that analog drummachines still got the advantage in beat making than via software. That knowing convinces me and maybe others to think a...

Cheap HW synth better than Soft Synths?

Guys, Entry level synthesizers like the Juno-G and MicroKorg are nice synths to begin with, as I'm a beginner. But are they worth investing when you've already got VSTs like FM8, Massive and Zebra for example(considering these are "the better VSTs")? Or Komplete for 500 euros. We all want ...

http://www.korg.com/product.aspx?pd=443 Is this something that can equal the hardware? Routing it out of the box to a hardware mixer with preamps and stuff. I've read something about Dennis Ferrer going digital and using preamps to make it 'analog'. I better go buy a Prophet 08 now, so in 10 years t...

I was aware that I was answering my own question for a part when I submitted my post. And I've noticed that my sound thinned out when HPing it. I've got my note frequencies chart on the wall since a week. It's because of steevio's earlier posts that the importance of this should be noted when produc...

I've read on the forum that some of you hi-pass filter every track except the bass. So I did. How do make sure some deep chords (stabs/lead, starting from c3) don't interfere with the bass? Bass is in C2 range. Say around 60 hz. Low pass it at 60 hz. Keeping it short and low. Hi-pass kick at 80hz. H...

Ok guys, newbie question. I'm producing in the box, DAW only. What do I have to buy/use and to do to getting that tape method done? Hardware mixer? Pre-amp? Tape recorder? And how does this process flow from daw to daw? first you need an audio interface with at least 4 out 2 in. then you can take s...
